Women’s Pilates Wellness Retreat
October 1-4, 2026
Join us in the Blue Ridge Mountains for a Retreat designed for women who crave a balance of movement, relaxation, and meaningful connection. Whether you're navigating a new season of life, prioritizing your health, or simply seeking time away to reset and recharge, you'll be supported through pilates, nature, and community in a beautiful mountain setting.
Rest + Rejuvenation
True wellness begins with rest. This retreat is designed to help you step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with what nourishes you. Enjoy unhurried mornings, peaceful surroundings, and opportunities to restore your energy and return home feeling recharged and rejuvenated.
Pilates + Movement
Get ready to explore the roots of your practice as we dive into the history, philosophy, and wisdom of Joseph Pilates and his 1945 book, Return to Life Through Contrology. Our retreat classes offer an intimate, deep dive into the exercises complete with personalized attention, hands-on corrections, and space to ask all your burning questions. We’re also bringing along some small, lesser-known Pilates apparatus so you can experience the magic of these tools for yourself
Adventure + Connection
Experience the beauty of the North Georgia Mountains in the Season of Fall. Whether exploring a mountain trail, gathering around a shared meal, or enjoying meaningful conversations, these experiences create opportunities to connect more deeply with yourself, fellow retreat participants, and the natural world around you.
